[Snaploud]

I was surprised by Data's willingness to hook his brain up to Breen technology. Noonien Soong made a point of being more careful in book 1, and Data has all of those memories. I wonder if that type of carelessness is going to have consequences in book 3.

Also:

Did the Breen plan on Data showing up to save the day? If not, was there another way they were planning to convincingly keep their operatives from killing Bacco and the Gorn leader (other than just by having both short-circuit)?
